Loading ...REAL ADVENTURE HIKE - MOUNT HUASHAN
If you are tired of hiking tourist trails that are supposed to be an adventure and are definitely not, you might like to try a real adventure hike. This is said to be the most dangerous tourist route in the world.
Mount Huashan in China can have you dangling over a 2090 cliff face and there is no safety barrier!
Mount Huashan located near Huayin City is a sacred mountain and is 2200m above sea level.
To reach the summit on foot you have to navigate along a trail of narrow footpaths and very steep staircases that have been cut into the mountain.
With cliffs on all sides the North Peak section of the trail is extremely exciting. Hikers manoeuvre across the cliff face by using a rusty chain and a 30cm wide wooden plank. This is followed by a 20m descent using another chain to help you get back on the trail.
Apparently there are approximately 100 deaths per year from those falling off the trail. Despite the obvious dangers hundreds of climbers a day make the hike.
The climb takes about 24 hours if you want to visit all five peaks on foot. There is a fairly new cable car but that is supposed to be even more frightening and dangerous than walking the trail.
When and if you ever get to the top the view is worth it. A breathtaking view of waterfalls, temples and ancient ruins.
For those of you looking for a real adventure, danger and excitement you might want to consider this real adventure hike up Mount Huashan.
